While the Lakers previously won a decade ago, the Dodgers had to wait for three decades to win the World Series again. James, who had promised to lead the Lakers to a championship while continuing Kobe Bryant's legacy, was ecstatic about the Dodgers' win over the Tampa Bay Rays in Game 6 this week.
